LightHeaded

LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. This addon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

/lh autodetails - Toggle automatic opening of the Lightheaded window when clicking a quest in the objective tracker

LightHeaded now includes the English descriptions and introductory text for most of the quests in the game. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled for those players that are not playing in their native locale.

IMPORTANT: Addon authors that wish to use this API and data should
include the wowhead logo in the frame that displays this information.
They are kind enough to let me continue parsing their database, and we
owe them at least that much. Thank you.

Thanks for using my addons!

Donations:
Some people have asked, so here is a way to send me donations:

- We now are able to properly reverse WowHead mapFileIds to the in-game
areaIds, so waypoints should be set in the correct zone.
- We don't know how to set a waypoint in an instanced zone, so we just
put those in the current zone
- Integration with MapNotes, Cartographer and friends always set in the
current zone.

It would be really nice if Lightheaded either parsed html commands that are in the comments, or stripped them out. It is really hard to read comments that have tables in them and seeing all of the html code.

Finished the parse last month. Its waiting to be reviewed and released by Cladhaire.

Ah shoot, yes I've seen that. I've been having to move out of my apartment and into the new one I bought so I've been a bit frazzled with that. Let me see what I can do quickly.

I just found a way to get Lightheaded to work without even seeing the map! Yes!

Anyway, instead of just clicking on the quest on the right side of the screen (which just pulls up the map with the quest), right-click on the quest title instead (on the right side of the screen) and it will give you options, click the option "Open Quest Details" and you will get the normal Lightheaded deal.

I hope I made it clear, I'm not the best when it comes to explaining computer stuff, hope I helped some of you

1. When you click on a quest, you go to the map. When you come back from the map, you have the information from lightheaded in a display. You can't get the "normal" information any more. That is, it completely overrides what you get from the system/game. It'd be nice if left-click gave one and right-click gave the other. Or something like that, perhaps settable in the options.

2. The information that Lightheaded displays from Wowhead, loses some of that information. For example, whether the quest is a normal quest, or part of a raid, or a crumb to a dungeon. Having the comments only is displaying only half of the information. And, because of issue #1, I can't find out if a quest is part of a dungeon, or a raid, or anything because Lightheaded doesn't display the information and I can't get it the "normal" way.

Is anyone having a problem with Lightheaded? It won’t work for me since the 7.2 patch… when I click on a quest on the right side of my screen, it just opens up the map and you see the “quest info” that WOW gives you, nothing from Wowhead. I wondered if I have a setting that got messed up with the new patch.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanx... and I'm sorry to be a bother, I understand you are busy
